They felt they needed to end the season the way they did to push the show in a new direction I think. Believe me, I watched it when it happened, and I'm still mad about it. I kept hoping it wouldn't be real.

And as far as season 5, you'll just have to watch and see.

The writing in season 6 is a little lax imo...things work out just a little too perfectly and there are too many coincidences. Doesn't make it any less awesome though lol.

Really? I love it. It reminds me of the old Dexter.

It does, I agree. Each season really is so different.
I will be watching episode 4 on Saturday, can't wait, it looked crazy

I'm thinking about that new direction- is it to build more anger/psychological, emotional splitting in Dexter ?? I think he deserves Rita, besides- she's such a sweet lady. It just makes me sad, she's gone

I see now what you mean re: Julia Stiles. Another disheartening moment for Dexter.

I am starting Season 6 today....shall see, you guys make it interesting with these comments :nod:

Although, as what Anna said about the 'old Dexter', it reminds me of that scene in last episode of Season 5 when he saw his image in the cake knife during Harrison's bday. I like the new, more in-touch with reality and his own feelings type of Dexter over the old one

I am not all that excited by this season. Perhaps Dexter has jumped the shark.

I don't know if they are using the same writers but there just is not much mystery and suspense like the earlier season.

I think they have either a new writer director or producer. I believe it's a new writer. I think the season is really good, but that could be due to how unsatisfying I found season 5. I like that they've given Dexter more facets to his personality. I find it easier and easier to like him. And really, the seasons always take a few weeks to get "suspenseful" anyway.

 

[Panacea]

I think they have a new "something" as well lol. I like the story line with Masuka, piggish as it is, I want to punch Quinn as usual and Deb is back to her old sailor ways with that mouth :24: hopefully that isn't a spoiler.

From Wikipedia, Dexter still has the same writers and directors

This is what I was thinking of. Taken from Dexter's main Wikipedia page...

The main creative forces behind the series were executive producers Daniel Cerone, Clyde Phillips and Melissa Rosenberg; Cerone left the show after its second season. Coming off a record-setting Season 4 finale, executive producer and showrunner Clyde Phillips departed the series to spend more time with his family. 24 co-executive producer Chip Johannessen took over Phillips' post.[SUP][5][/SUP] Head writer Melissa Rosenberg left after Season 4 as well.
After the conclusion of Season 5, it was revealed that Chip Johannessen was departing the show after a single season[SUP][6][/SUP] and that Scott Buck would be taking over as showrunner from season 6.

if they got a writer from the later part of 24 then the show is doomed. 24 when downhill the last 3-4 seasons big time due to unimaginative writing.

I hope I am wrong.

I am surprised Carpenter (sister) has not made more of a splash and gotten movie offers. She is damn good and that mouth of hers is fucking hilarious.

 

[Panacea]

She's super good at being hysterical in movies, that's for sure.
I couldn't really imagine this show going on for 10 years, but I really hope Michael C. Hall stays working, don't know what I'd do without a show featuring him!

 

[purpledove]

:nod: Yup, I got that from Dexter wikipedia too. I was posting from my phone and link came out a different format. I didn't mention producers on my post Most of the changes were co/executive producers, and show runners. Although losing the head writer M. Rosenburg also might have greatly affected the show of course.

I agree with you that it takes time for the story to build up and hit the momentum of suspense. Since lots of changes too came about with almost everyone's life: Dexter not having Rita and now Harrison is gonna be in pre- school, divorce of Maria and Batista, proposal of Quinn to Deb and Deb being a lieutenant etc: imo, all those needed to set in the story then am hoping it will pick up. Although personally, I am interested in the mystery behind that Doomsday killer. What's the message with their killings? :unsure:

Fortunately the 24 writer is gone. He worked on crappy season 5.

I'm with Pan. Michael C. Hall needs to keep working. And I need to find somewhere to watch Six Feet Under since he was in that show IIRC.

You've never seen Six Feet Under?

 

[anathelia]

You've never seen Six Feet Under?

I used to watch it when it was first on, but that feels like an eternity ago. I couldn't remember if he was specifically on it, and it's not on Netflix instant queue (because nothing good ever is...lol).

Perhaps I'll go looking for a torrent tonight.

 

[Alien Allen]

Six feet under was a great show

It had almost jumped the shark though at the end though

The first season was great
